Alone we go faster, together we go further. This African proverb, as beautiful as it is powerful, has been repeated to the point of wear and tear in the corporate world. Behind this seductive utopia lies a much more complex reality.
Creating a business means engaging in an extraordinary human adventure. Unlike a solitary adventure, the success of a startup often depends on a tandem, a trio or a collective of founders who combine their strengths, their ideas and, above all, their ambitions. Association is a delicate alchemy, combining complementarity, shared vision and mutual respect. While it is an indispensable asset, it can also become the breaking point.
At the Galion Project, we have often found that conflicts between associates, while invisible from the outside, are both common and critical. These tensions, when not defused, can throw the entire company into turmoil. However, a solid partnership, built on dialogue and trust, can overcome crises and emerge stronger.
This guide was designed with a clear objective: to provide entrepreneurs with the tools they need to navigate the complexity of these relationships, and to lay the foundations for a lasting partnership.
Whether you are facing weak signs of disagreement or real conflicts, this guide is an invitation to take care of what is the spice of our lives: the quality of our human relationships.
Happy reading!
